Careful, they might start calling it a video light and charging $150. lol

[BasicFilmmaker]

Wow. $20. Love it. Usually shy away from these as battery is like 40 minutes. Just about the time I hit the record button during setup, they die. I believe you said 5 hours?? Sold!!!

I think using them as lights for light drawing photography would look soo awesome because of their size

[WilliamFischerOfficial]

Really cool to open my phone and see affordable tech that meets my frugal filmmaking needs, gained a whole new appreciation for your channel!

UPDATE 1: Just a heads up... It seems the lights aren't available outside of the US/CA 😭I'll see if I can find something similar... Thank you for the heads up everyone! 
There is no model name or number for the lights but here is the title of the Amazon version I purchased: "ALPHA HOME 40 LED Closet Light, Portable USB Rechargeable Cupboard Light, Stick on Anywhere Magnetic LED Night Light" GOOD LUCK!

What a phenomenal YouTube channel ! 8m definitely more of a drone guy, but there's quite alot of crossover on hardware.

You Are one of the rare creators that does not hype up and lie about sponsored junk. Integrity is much appreciated !

[AllThingsFilm]

You sold me. I just bought two. They’re perfect for car shots as dashboard lighting, etc. Their small size and light weight make them perfect for enhancing or mimicking practicals. Great find, Caleb.

[luis.craik]

I landed my conclusions on getting your previous recommendations (RGB DMX really really cheap lights), but NOW THIS. WOW! You sir really care about your viewers! Thank you so much, Caleb! 👏🏼

I bought one, used your link so I hope you got kick backs. It works just like in the video its very cool. This has a long battery life according to the info on the amazon site and I am planning to buy a couple more and in the summer when we have corner driveway cookouts and the kids play in the road on their bikes and stuff I can lay these on the ground or hook them to some of the chairs to help light up the area so cars will slow down and see us sooner.

[Nagrooven]

Just got 6 of them! They are great. I am doing a night dialogue scene in a moving car, and was struggling with ways to light the interior subtly. I mounted the lights on the inside ceiling of my car above the windows, and they work as perfect "moonlight". Thanks for the suggestion!

[cool]

this could be a really good light for streaming. it's nice and small and thin so it doesn't look too bad on your desk and you can probably just hide easily on your desk when not using.

[Workbenchtv]

I bought two of these after seeing this. They weren't even $20! They're definitely worth it. I used two nano clamps connected by a small magic arm, and now they can go nearly anywhere. They make great kickers.

[FilmsbyJPButler]

Another idea, you could mount them under cabinets for your cooking films. I could use those when I do an instructional video on maintaining some machinery at work, they could easily fit up into a raised lid on a printer! Yes, I finally got a job! Sorry I am missing you, Jim, and Ben on Camera & Flask Live, but I just watch them after work. Thanks Man!

[AnthonyGoodley]

I was going to build my own LED light for use with some Macro photography but for this level of quality, CRI rating, battery life and price I'll just buy 3 of these instead. Thank you.

[saskelee]

funny thing is is came here for photographic advice and now I remember that i haven't bought any closet light since we moved in the new house. lol I will purchase some of these and then i can borrow it for my youtube space talking heads lol thank you sir.

[JordanKeyes]

Amazon US had a 35% off coupon for the second option, so it was $12.99. How could I say no to that??
Thanks, Caleb!

[CountSorinsRealm]

Thank you Captain Caleb, for sailing the treacherous Seas of Amazon random products that might or might not be good, so we don't have to. The Prometheus of obscure, but cool Amazon gear.

[OTTech]

These look great! I would love to see a RGB version.

[henrycolestage]

Just ordered two. I was looking for something to backlight my bookcases. Will also be perfect in the gun safe. And I think it will be the perfect answer to lighting in a camping tent!

[LarryParamedic]

Looks like it would work great for my b&w analog photography.
